Finally caved and picked up a Bark River Bravo 1

after almost twenty adult years being a knife enthusiast, I finally got the Bravo1 when I saw it for quite a good deal on DLT. This one is the classic A2 version. I wasn't especially worried about the capabilities of the design. Besides seeing who knows how many videos and posts through the years about them, when you handled and used enough knives, you can generally get a fairly solid idea of how a given knife should work. The biggest thing I want to check was if this one had the dreaded edge embritlement that Bark Rivers have exhibited here and there through the years. Thankfully, after beating it around for a half hour or so, no rolls, chips, warps, etc.
